That “acorn is an oak tree in a nutshell” line cracked me up Rick! 😂 For a split second I wasn’t sure if you were serious or joking, so seeing Stacey laugh made me laugh even harder. 😄 It was a rough week, so thanks for making me smile.

Stacy, you put a big smile on my face when you tried to whistle with the acorn cupule. That is exactly what I like to do with them

Thanks for all your garden knowledge and tips. The caryopteris bluebeard has the perfect shade of blue, I love it. I was excited to find the beyond pink caryopteris which is also very pretty, when I went to plant it, I noticed it's not hardy in my zone 5. I planted the pink in containers, hoping they make it through the winter in my garage!

I garden in 6 acres of oaks, hickory trees and deer! I gather the nuts from the beds and throw them back into the woods to sprout. I share your message with the Master Gardeners of Mercer County, NJ -you don’t know what you don’t know!❤

I have caryopteris blue beard and the bees fall asleep on it. I pet them and they don’t fly away. Just get annoyed at me. This year I put an animated dragon near it for Halloween and the dragon wings gently move the branches and I believe the bees enjoy that bc there are more of them just sitting in the flowers being rocked by the dragon wings. Really funny! I won’t be pruning it this year. Didn’t know about that!!! Thx!!!

In zone 5b and I planted 3 candy corn spirea last season and this season, they are not bushy at all. Very spotting leafing . What can I do to make it bushier ? I have not pruned it

How long would you say that bronze fennel can live in zone 6? I let it reseed because I assumed it was short-lived…

I bought some bulbs along with A hibiscus plant, I received the bulbs but not the hisbicus which is going to come later this month, I was wondering if I could pot it and keep it indoor, I think it will be bareroots
